    Lovely little secret spot at Ironshore. Seafront seating available. Fish is cooked to perfection. Needs to do something about the lobster prices but staff very friendly and welcoming. Now one of my regular spots for sure. Sunsets here are beautiful

    Chill seafood spot on the ocean. The floating seating over the ocean was cool. The seafood was okay. Service okay. Price was affordable.

    Great food, great prices. The view is pretty great as well! The kitchen takes a bit of time, but I think that's because of the freshness. Servers were really great, and took care of my friend and I. When next I am in Jamaica, I will be sure to stop back by!

This is a place where all your troubles just Slip away. Just sit back and relax you’re on island time catch a game of Dominoes with the locals, enjoy the the beautiful sunsets have yourself a red stripe life is sweet stay thirsty my friends.

  • 5/5 Natalie B. 8 months ago on Google
    Roxi is my girl! I visited this location twice when visiting Mobay and the seafood is impeccable! I recommend their fish tea, steam or fried fish, and festival! So so good

  • 3/5 Nicolette B. 7 months ago on Google
    Yes for the steam fish. The rest of the menu is ok. Service is good enough for you to want to return. The cats are a nice touch about the place.

  • 5/5 Kate S. 11 months ago on Google
    Wonderful place! Incredibly tasty food, a gorgeous view of the bay, and a super friendly and welcoming local vibe. Will be my go-to spot going forward!

    Lovely seaside location, beautiful sunsets, good music, finger licking seafood and of course the staff are friendly and polite and attend to your needs in a prompt manner. Excellent stop for the weary driver from Kingston and for those exiting Montego Bay it's a good last lick if only for drinks to wet your lips before the toll haul.

    Positives: tasty food, nice atmosphere. Negatives: Overpriced (paid 160 usd+ for 4 dishes), seafood is listed in weight so hard to decipher what to expect- maybe check with waitress first. Food came very SLOOOW (1 hr+) even after being promised it will only be 30 mins. Weird as we were the only ones there for lunch. Almost missed our flight so a very stressful end to a nice vacation.

  • 2/5 Pat McAuley D. 1 year ago on Google
    We went there on Valentines Day while on vacation. Neat little spot once you get there. Very hard to find parking. Overall experience wasn’t amazing. The waitress was slow and disinterested. Waited well over a hour for a food, while there was really nobody else there. Potato wedges were bland, food was okay at best. Some of the BBQ was good while the rest seemed to just be dipped in sauce. The men’s bathroom also had no door, you walked in and the urinals were on the left and right sides. Zero privacy. Same disinterested waitress took forever to collect our payment. Would not recommend.

    Very chill location with a beautiful view, good service and delicious food! I had a great time and would definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Cecile G. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and staff were wonderful. Great atmosphere. A real gem. The only drawback is their limited parking. Otherwise worth the effort to go.

    love this place server Ewan created a great vibe and was very entertaining we arrived late but bar stayed open for us. Chef was amazing fish soup was great and other food was delicious worth a visit

  • 1/5 Tiana M. 1 year ago on Google
    1. Menu said chicken wings and fried chicken were both 900, they charged us 1100 for each meal, refused to let us pay the price that was advertised and that we agreed upon. 2. Waiter told us chicken wings were a serving of 6, gave us 5 and refused to get another. 3. Waiter told us the fish was 2500 and we could pick whichever one we wanted, we picked one and he charged us 3250. 4. We asked for to go boxes, he brought them and then charged us 450 for the boxes without warning us prior that their was a fee (we easily could have shared one to go box). 5. We asked when the food will be ready, waiter said “when you see me walk out with the food, that’s when you know it will be ready” Worst restaurant experience ever it’s almost hilarious.. but yah don’t go there

    Good environment. It's a little hidden behind other smaller shops. The waiting time was extremely long. Price was decent. The chicken was good. Edit: by shops, I mean restaurants. Yes, there are other smaller places where people are eating near the entrance.

  • 5/5 Jabari Mosi Jerimiah Alexander W. 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant place to be after a long day at the airport. Very first time visitor. The night ambience was brilliant and so was the music. #TryTheirSoups, you will not regret it. The ladies and gentlemen who are staff were very courteous and constantly checked in while we ate. Absolutely stunning hidden treasure and the calmness of the water was a plus I had my excellent ribs and chicken. #Impressed and I'm certainly heading back quite soon

    You are right by the water so the area is beautiful. It's enclosed so you don't really see Street traffic. We didn't eat here because the cost of the fish is too expensive. We would have easily paid about $40 - $50 per person for a meal with fried fish. You can get good fish cheaper other places but you are paying for the view. The staff was very nice and very polite so we just got some drinks and hung out for about 30 minutes.

  • 2/5 Suen S. 2 years ago on Google
    Servers could be a little more friendly No smile no greeting or is this the way locals are treated? food could be quicker. Who waits over 30 minutes for just some wings. No music no tv all u have is a view

  • 5/5 Whitlei N. 3 years ago on Google
    Cute little fish restaurant located in Niamma Coral Bay. Pick your own fish and have them blacken, fry or grill it. What makes this place most unique is the floating seating area hanging off the restaurant. Descent food with a good ambience for an afternoon lunch.

  • 3/5 Mikol M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was good but the wait time was extremely long, even for having a relatively big group. The floating dock was an interesting experience.

👍👍 Been to Jamaica twice. I’m a Caribbean person myself. The food here and at Snappaz (check them out too) in my opinion best tasting food in tourist attraction Montego Bay. Everything is well seasoned. If you don’t want seasoning then stick to the hotel’s food. Please don’t ask the locals to under sea...

We were a little hesitant while driving to the location, only because it’s in a residential neighborhood and do not look like there’s an restaurant there. But when we arrived it was a be...
